Front wheel

Of recently I noticed my front wheels are not in line. What I mean by this is that the right wheel is pushed to the front than than the left wheel. The left wheel is more in center under the wheel arch than the left wheel. I didn’t know why its like this but It wasn’t like this before. I had no accident since I bough this car. Even before I changed the control arms it was the same and now the new control arms are on the there it’s the same. Shocks, struts, strut mounts are new, ball joints everything is new even tie rods.

what could cause this ?

Let me upload the newly alignment print out

so the front right is what I’m talking about. The back wheel just to get upper control arms that are adjustable.

Re: Front wheel


This is the car. 7th gen civic, 1.7 Lt, 4 cyl.
the alignment was done in the same time I uploaded the picture of the alignment. So the front right wheel push towards the front than it is on the left wheel.

I don’t know if it’s the subframe or the spindle but that’s not normal.

The control arms are new from rack auto and I was having the issue before I changed the control arms to

I have the same issue with the right rear wheel but it’s not at the back or the front of the wheel, it’s on the top of the wheel, between the wheel well and the top of the tire. I don’t know if it’s trailing arm or the strut on that side. Any answer from some pros will greatly appreciated.

Re: Front wheel

There will be some natural camber on the rear.

From what I understand, you’re having issues on the right side. Not sure why you’d post a picture of the left side.

my bad, I should’ve known it’s the right side to send. BrotatoChip ask for a pic but I should’ve known that it’s the right side I should’ve send.

the fact that this is a suspension thread, can I mention something about my fuel system on here also?



the bottom one is the affected side but I just took two pictures to show the difference. It may not show much on picture but in person it really shows. Two alignment shops told me something isn’t right. The last one I just went to about two weeks told me it’s something wrong with either my spindle or my shocks or something but he couldn’t really say.






looking at these two pictures you can see the big difference of the two rear wheels. The wheel on the bottom is the affected wheel. my mistake when I said the it’s the right rear wheel, it’s the left rear wheel and the right front wheel that’s affected.

Re: Front wheel

yeah. I know someone that want to buy it about three months ago not sure if he still need it. But I won’t get what I put into it. As long as I get rid of it and get what I want for it it’s kool.

im having some issues with fuel pressure for some time ago since last year. I changed fuel pump, filter and the whole fuel pump assembly and the issue still there. The issue I’m having is that the needle keep bouncing, sometimes it shows different reading and another time is gives the right reading. Sometimes it shows low reading and when I stretch second gear it will go up from where it was. I bought the whole unit from autozone and put it last weekend and I’m still having the same issue. For what I heard, the fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel pump assembly on the 7th gen civic. I’m assuming it’s the little shine metal piece on top of the assembly unit.

Re: Front wheel

For your suspension issue, I would start looking for bent control arms, knuckles/spindles, struts, etc.

For your fuel issue, I initially would guess it's the Autozone parts causing the issue. Are there actual performance issues or are you just seeing the pressure drop?
